Of deep sea life, and the gradual changes by which 1t seems to have reached it's present stage, FIlhol, q French naturalist, remarks: During the greater part of geological time the earth's surface did not exhibit those deep depressioas and great pro- jert;ons that it does in our day. The continents did not possess their pres- ent great relicfs, or the oceans their ahysses. Gradually, in measure as the earth, under the influence of the cooling that it underwent, cracked, the bottom of the oceans sank more anal more- The equality of tempera- ture that was established between tine deep murine zones of the warm and temper ate regions and the super ticial marine zones of the cold regions permitted species living at these lat ter points to extend over greater and greater spaces; although they met with conditions of lie different from tho-e of the surroundings in which they were formerly placed-absence Of vegetable foosl, anl of light, and absolute tranquility of water. Their organization then became modified, and adapted itself to these new bio- logical conditions; in word, it be- came transformed. Phosphorescent organs arose to produce light in the midst of regions that the solar rays no longer reached. Organs oi touch were developed. carnivorous charac- tcrs were substituted for phytopha- gous ones, and notifications of the mouth were brought about for stealth ilv seizing large prey that had to satisfy the animal for many days. So submarine explorations have lent arguments of great value to zo-ologists who assert that animal forms do rot constitute those immutable types called species. It would seem, in fact, whe:i we observe the surprising animals of the deep, that an organism is merely soft paste in the hands of nature. which she is necessarily .kneading, and the existence of which she perpetuates hy adaptations that are continuously renewed during the course of ages"

Last autumn bookseller named Meyer, of Ronneburg, tied water proof lahel under the wings of a swallow which had occupied a nest at his house, and had become com paratively familiar. On it he wrote a query in German to the effect that he wished to know where the swallow would pass the winter. The bird re- turned to it's former nest bearing an exchange label similarly fastened, saying in German also: "In Florence, at Castellari's house, and l bear many salutations.

 Fave him good idea of law, ani he resolved to go West and adopt tho practice. He arrived at Nbuquerqu, one night, and next day was engagetl in murder case, which at that tim , was attracting attention all over tha Territory.
 Among tie many ranchmen was a burly oli fellow named Carter, who styled himself king" and was a terror for miles around. Carter had small regard for the property of other people, and made speciality oi claiming all the cattle that strayed upon his pastures. Other ranchmen were afraid to remonstrate with him personally, and were forced to resort to the courts. A Kentucky attorney named Hagan was in Carter's em- ploy, and was usually successful.
 A fatal shooting affray occurred on the streets of Albuquerque one night Not long a!terward Carter was lodged in jail and charged with murder. He had killed a fellow ranchman for tritiing insult, and the spectators loudly proclaimed that it was in cold blood. That night there were rumors of n;s,b vengeance, and the prison was placed under heavy guard.
 Lawyer Hagan was sent for the next day to visit Carter. At first ha l,esitated; he had made mp his minl to have nothing to do with the case. A second messenger arrived, and fIagan concluded to visit Carter.
 "There is this much about it." said the attorney, "I have defended you the last time. All your wealth could not hire me 10 take charge of your defense"
 ''Then for Gods saNe recommend somebody" said the imprisoned cat tie king. Hagan promised and left. On the way from the prison to his office he met Neal Fields. The two had known each other in Kentucky, and were not long in renewing the old acquaintance. The case of Car ter was mentioned to Fields, and he was asked if he would enlist for the defense.
 "If I get money enough" replied Fields, with keen eve to business. ''Yoa shall have all the money you want" was the reassuring reply. Hagen turned and led the way back to the jail. Fields was introduced 10 Carter. and agreed to take the casa. A check for $5.A0) WAS signed then and there, and turned over to the young attorney. Fields went to work on the case. The first thing he did was 10 draw his money from the bank.
 The next day Albuquerque was startled when it became known that during the night mob oi masked men had taken Carter from the jail and left him swinging from q limb. Fields had the $5,000, and his client was beyond defense.-ICourier-Jour- nal.

Genius and Common Sense.

Genius generally makes the world catch it's breath with admiration at its exalted flight, but it frequently goes to bed without its supper, takes a slice of hope for breakfast, and tightens its belt for dinner, while plodding common sense gropes along with it's eyes to the ground. and by hard knocks and close picking gets three meals a day.-lChicago Ledger.

Novel Features of Mexican Jour-
 Hzl.sn.

The Chicago Times very properly notes that journalism in Mexico varies from the sensational work put into some American papers. A murder is briefly announced, with only the lead ing facts and names, and with no artistic elaboration of details. The taste of the Mexican reader does not incline toward crimes. Still less does he delight in the miseries of un- fortunate families. The family circle is the last place the reporter invades. The rattle of the family skeleton is rarely heard. and when it is, truth is rarely lost sight of in an unseemlv scramble to be the first 10 exhibit it.

For some time the New Age posed as a
temperance reformer and doubtless led
many well meaning persons to believe
that it was honestly in favor of the enforce
ment of the liquor laws. Since, however,
Mike Burns appeared upon the
stage openly, breaking and detying the
laws of the State, against the sale of spir-
ituous liquors, and earnest efforts have
been made by Governor Bodwell and the
sheriffs and other officers to enforce the
prohibitory laws in thorough and effect
i've manner, the New Age has assumed a
new role and comes out as an advocate
for and defender of, Mike Burns, and
for the complete overthrow of prohibition
in this State. 1t is we'll that the New
Age, has thrown off the mask, for it can
no longer deceive any one as to its true
position in regard to prohibition. The
article in its last issue, arguing that Mike
Burns has legal right to sell liquor as
he does sell it and that the Supreme
Court will so decide when the
case comes before that tribunal
is an eye-opener which all can
understand. Only those who are in favor
of the overthrow of prohibition will take
the stand which the New Age does. Only
an ally and servant OF the rum power will
thus attempt to defend Mike Burns in his
unlawful traffic. The true friends OF pro-
hibition are willing to rest the cause in
the hands of the Supreme Court, notwith-
standing the attempts of the New Age to
sustain its friends, the rumsellers. The
judges are not only men learned in the
law but they have the good OF the com
munity at heart and their decision
will be in conformity to the
laws of the land, and for the up
holding of temperance here and elsewhere
against all who would trample it under
their feet.

number of fowl has greatly increased in the

this increase has been larger in the New Eng

Twenty seven States report over one million
each. Seventeen States report over two mil
lion each. Thirteen States report over three
millions each while the States of Illinois,
Iowa, New York. Ohio and Pennsylvania re-
port over FIVE millions each. In eighteen OF
the States the annual average product of eggs

1t will be noticed that the average number
of eggs laid per hen per year ranges from
three dozen to over seven dozen and that
those states that reported the largest number
of hens did not make the most money because,
as the figures show, they only got an average
of four or five dozen eggs per hen per year
while the New England States show an aver
age of from six to over seven dozen. The
question arises then why do hens in the New
England States average more than seven doZ-
en- eggs per year per hen, when in Louisiana
they only average three dozen =? The reason
must be found in the fact that in the New Eng
land States, Sheridan's Pc WIDER to make hen
lay is more universally used, while in the
West and South, it is not used much. Louis
lana has not gone behind but the Northern
States have gone ahead. There is no doubt
at all but that the extensive use of Sheridan's
Powder to Make Hens Lay. and for the i'm
provement of poultry, has boosted the poultry
industry more than all the other influences
put together. The poultry industry of this
country now amounts to between five and six
hundred millions of dollars annually and the
profits are said to be enormous. One man IN
Mass. near Boston has made twenty thousand
dollars year for the last five years and many
more have made from five hundred to
thousand dollars, while thousands of women.
children and invalids have earned comfort
